Brief summary of the article
Hungary's government has submitted legislation that would remove restrictions introduced under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban on the promotion or display of homosexuality and gender change in media accessible to minors. The proposed changes follow an EU court ruling that the restrictions breached EU law, while Prime Minister Peter Magyar has also said his government plans to change rules that effectively banned gay adoption.
Main Points of the Article
"The draft bill would ban materials that can "seriously impair the child's physical, intellectual, emotional or moral development.""
Best Wishes Always

Governments often use phrases like this to sound altruistic. But then fail to define what "seriously impair" actually means or even looks like.
I read an Archie comic book when I was 8 years old. I think I am "seriously impaired" physically, intellectually, emotionally, and morally. Maybe I should sue so I can be compensated.
